This is a very unique and private almost 86 contiguous acres in the gated Picketwire Ranch subdivision that strategically connects BLM public lands to the east to BLM lands to the west. This BLM land is landlocked with no public access and roads are private though the subdivision. The seasonal water sources the property offers are a magnet for the area's abundant wildlife, including one of the world's largest elk herds.
Land
The views to the Spanish peaks and Fisher Peak from the top of the property are absolutely breathtaking, and with no power it is perfect for an off-the-grid build. Cell phone service is also great at the top of the property. There are no covenants and no homeowners association. Property owners within the subdivision maintain the roads. Dont wait on this place, you might never see anything like it again.

Hidden canyons and cuts within the property offer great security for world class bull elk, mule deer, color phase bear, and mountain lions. The current owner has extensive trail camera history showing that all these big game species utilize the property year-round which is not surprising, considering this parcel is right down the road from the most renowned trophy hunting ranches in the country. GMU 85 still offers OTC elk tags and OTC turkey licenses for select seasons, which is becoming more rare.
Location
The location of the property is only 20 minutes from Trinidad (and the I-25 corridor) where you can find a hospital, an airport, and all other facilities you might need. Flat out, land like this in Colorado is becoming impossible to find! Denver is 3 hours 20 minutes, and Colorado Springs is 1 hour 53 minutes drive time.
